Dogs of Instagram: 18 pawsitive accounts you should most definitely follow online

Making sure your social media is a happy place is of the utmost importance at any time, but especially now when we're all spending so much more time online... and these Dogs of Instagram will help you get your daily fluff fix.

Increased screen time can have a knock-on effect in all aspects of our lives - impacting everything from our sleep patterns to our motivation and productivity levels. Another major thing it can influence? Our mood... which is why we recommend filling your feed only with pawsitivity.

And what better way to do so than by freshening up your follows with 18 of our favourite Dogs of Instagram. Some of these good boys (and girls) are Irish, some are international, but the more new friends the merrier we say.

Bobby Dassler the Daschund

Bobby's insta bio reads: "Mini dog with a big personality." Substitute 'dog' with 'human' and I think that's a fairly accurate description of mé féin so I have no doubts that Bobby and I would be firm friends.

Darla the English Bulldog

With a name like that, one can't help but wonder where her Alfalfa is hiding? She looks serious most of the time but she's well able to crack a smile and she'd melt even the coldest of hearts when she does.

Gin and Tonic the Frenchie Pugs

These brothers go together better than their namesake drink and while they may get up to plenty of mischief, they're actually the best of friends. And are passionate advocates of afternoon cat puppy naps... as are we.

Rae is the internet's own golden unicorn and with only one ear perched right on the top of her head (accidental injury at birth), her 'do always looks put together. Better than our amateur attempts at the perfect messy bun.

What do you get when you combine two "extremely cute and funny" pupperinos? An Instagram feed brimming with pure unbridled joy that's what. These two love to wear silly costumes and make their followers laugh.
